Also, as funny as it is that Jeffster is on the lam (sp?) they need to explain why they are considering so many people know why the Buy More actually exploded.

It will probably go away after a quick phone call by some CIA rep to the local police and media. Unless they decide to use that as a way to divert attention away from themselves.

On the subject of Shaw, I think he turned into a pretty decent bad guy, but there are some things I would've changed. He turned to the Ring because he was so furious about his wife's death. He wanted revenge. But once he came back he seemed too smug and villainy. I would've preferred to see him more unhinged, driven by grief and rage and conflicted over what he was doing. No biggie, I just think it was a missed opportunity to have a more original anti-villain.

Speaking of missed opportunities (and going off of what vidae said about muscle memory) , one of the challenges of this show is finding a balance between the bumbling nerd Chuck was and the slick intersect-augmented spy he is becoming. A good device would've been to show the physical effects of Chuck's body doing acrobatic things like karate and jumping past lasers without being used to it. His brain artificially knew what to do, but his body wouldn't be accustomed to it and would be cripplingly sore after a strenuous activity. Eventually his body would've adapted and his recovery time would've gone down and eventually vanished altogether. Again, not a big deal, just something that would've added to the growth of Chuck as a character, IMO.

Additional martial arts graphics would cost money, and the show does not need to bring that particular anvil onto the thin ice its been on for years. Apparently, this is my 4,400th post.

I didn't mean the graphics themselves, I meant that after flashing on martial arts 23847258923849 times he'd probably be able to accomplish what he needed to WITHOUT flashing, ie, muscle memory kicks in and he instinctively knows how to fight.

And yeah, Shaw was a pretty awful good guy, but I really liked him as a villain. I just hope we don't see him at all next year.

Sorry for the double post, but I thought it would be interesting to bring up the names that were on the files at the end of the finale......
1. Ted Roark (DECEASED stamped on it)
2. Operation LARKIN
3. Fulcrum Files
4. Identity: ORION
5. Identity: Hydra
6. Corvus: Phase Two
7. The Aries Papers
8. The Triangulum (CAPTURED stamped on it)
9. The Fornax Group
10. Operation: CYGNUS
11. MARY ELIZABETH BARTOWSKI: MISSING

The two main things that stick out to me are Operation Larkin, which doesn't have deceased or closed stamped on it like some of the others. Also, it'll be interesting to find out more about the Hydra ID. Is it just another ID for Papa Bartowski or maybe mama Bartowski?
